So, instead of disrespecting Prince's own feelings, Timberlake instead sat before a giant screen that featured video imagery of Prince's performance, with Timberlake playing backup to his vocals for the iconic number, "I Would Die 4 U".

When it was announced that Justin Timberlake would be the Super Bowl LII halftime performer, the hashtag #JusticeForJanet started to emerge.

Others hoped he would perform with Janet Jackson, whom he infamously performed with during the "Nipplegate" performance in 2004. He was joined on stage by his band, the Tennessee Kids. Neither *NSYNC or Janet Jackson are part of the performance, which puts an end to a few rumours.

Timberlake had begun his performance with a rendition of Filthy, before singing a medley of some of his greatest hits, including SexyBack, Senorita and Cry Me A River.

"To be honest, I had a ton of grand ideas about special guests", Timberlake said.

Janet Jackson had already confirmed she would not be making an appearance, 14 years after JT performed with her on stage and proceeded to rip off her bodice, flashing her nipple and effectively ending her career.
